27.06.2024 21:11:28 - dpa-AFX: GNW-Adhoc: Stellar MLS Joins Global Colleagues in Germany to Share Best Practices for Leveraging the Multiple Listing Service, Using Tech Solutions to Transform Real Estate
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Executives of Stellar
MLS, a leading multiple listing service (MLS) in the U.S. and the largest in
Florida and Puerto Rico, joined global colleagues in Germany recently to network
and share intel for leveraging the power of the MLS and using AI and other tech
solutions to transform the real estate industry.
German Real Estate Day 2024, hosted by the German Real Estate Association IVD,
was held June 6-7 at the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk cultural center in Munich. The
theme was "Back to the Future," with panels on utilizing the MLS to elevate the
industry, using AI and digitizing business processes, and legal and political
topics. The event featured more than 50 exhibitors of services and tech
solutions for the industry.
"We're honored to share best practices for leveraging the MLS and innovative
strategies for professional growth with our international colleagues," said
Merri Jo Cowen, CEO of Stellar MLS. "Together, we can collaborate on solutions
to take our industry to the next level and all succeed on a global scale."
Stellar MLS VP of Marketing and Communications Marion Weiler spoke on a panel
about how the MLS can benefit real estate professionals in Germany, and the
industry at large, by providing access to trusted and accurate data, elevating
professionalism, and improving efficiencies in transactions and business
results.
"Germany is ideally positioned to benefit from the movement to create a new,
more effective marketplace," said Weiler. "With the right partners who bring
experience and trust and offer solutions tailored to this market, there is a
special opportunity to secure a successful future for the German real estate
industry."
Stellar MLS VP of Technology and Innovation Dr. Mathew Kallumadil shared
insights into AI's revolutionary role. "Without accurate, reliable data, there
is no artificial intelligence," Dr. Kallumadil said. "If decision-makers in real
estate markets want to leverage innovation for their agents, sellers, buyers and
everyone else in the value chain of the transaction, they must commit to
building a data-centric ecosystem. That is the fundamental function of an MLS."
German Real Estate Day marked the 100th anniversary of the IVD, a 6,200-member
business association representing real estate and other industry professionals.
Stellar MLS is one of the largest multiple listing services in the United
States, covering the American Southeast, Puerto Rico, Central America and South
America. Created in 1993, Stellar MLS has 19 shareholder organizations and
85,000 customers. Guided by a dynamic vision of embracing innovation, fostering
growth, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Stellar MLS consistently
sets new standards within the real estate industry.
